Tomorrow’s winner Greece-New Zealand will be on the road to Montenegro in the second phase of its groups World Cup and Nikola Vucevic was asked to comment on this couple after the own team’s loss to Lithuania (91-71).
“They are two quite different groups. I can’t predict what will happen. Both teams have their chances. New Zealand play very hard and fast, Greece somewhat differently. It will be a fun game and we will see because the winner will come our way. Both are very good teams and I can’t choose one or the other“, he emphasized.
As for the heavy defeat by Lithuania, he said:Congratulations to Lithuania, they played very well. Their dynamism threw us out of sync and out of our rhythm. We fought until the end, but when you shoot with such bad percentages you can’t expect much and I say that first for me. The score shows exactly what happened. You have to score to win and we didn’t do that today. Now we know that we don’t have much chance of qualifying, but we will try our best. First we have the match against the USA, which is certainly something very important for our national team».
The coach of Montenegro, Bosco Radoviche said: “We were very misguided and that’s why we lost. We started well, but then we didn’t make a single three-pointer for 17 minutes. In the second period we scored only 13 and in the third 10 points. Lithuania is too good a team to expect to win. We’ve got two more games to go and we’re looking at those now».
